Upper West Side
$4.85 million
Looking for a loft? A townhouse? Well, this duplex "loft home," measuring 3,180 square feet, "feels like a townhouse." Though the West 70th Street condo is prewar, an "amazing renovation" has given it "every convenience and high-end finish." The apartment features a "wonderful open floor plan" offering a huge great room that boasts 12- to 16-foot ceilings, along with four bedrooms (or three bedrooms and a den) and 3½ bathrooms. And the "spa-like" master suite is its own "oasis."

On 12.62 acres, Linwood Estate at Conyers Farm does indeed have "sprawling" acreage, but what makes it particularly special is the lakefront setting -- which also includes "tiered gardens," stone embankments, a "trellised" pool house and a "four-season" solarium. That's in addition to the main manse -- built in 1994 but referencing a much earlier era in its "finely crafted" details and neoclassical design -- measuring 12,560 square feet, with an imposing front portico that leads through double doors into an "enthralling" two-story foyer with a "sweeping" staircase. Beyond it is a "ballroom-sized" sunken living room with a coffered ceiling, stone fireplace and lake views, plus an "imposing" formal dining room with a "magnificent" domed ceiling. There are also seven "sublime" bathrooms, seven "luxury" full bathrooms and four "designer" half-bathrooms.

Old Westbury, LI

If you are going to make it to the top, you might as well live there, too! This "state of the art" home is set on one of "the highest points of Long Island," on land (3.92 acres, to be precise) that was once part of the Whitney estate and backs up to the Old Westbury Golf & Country Club. In addition to seven bedrooms and 6½ bathrooms, this "elegant" brick Colonial -- constructed in 2003 -- was built "with every upscale amenity," including an interior and exterior sound system, "award-winning" landscaping, a "fantastic" finished lower level, an outdoor hot tub and an outdoor kitchen.
